ChefsDad Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Hi all Im not the best painter, but Ive decided to undertake the mammoth task of collecting and painting the Neverborn range. Im more of a Gamer than a Painter, but I like to have an army/crew which looks good on the table from a gamer's-eye-view. I prefer playing with painted models, and that is an incentive for me to paint, though Ive started this blog to spur me on! I plan to do one or more models a month (will most likely be more, because the models I get ill want to use). Seems to be a decent and achievable goal. Heres the first lot! Be gentle!

Nathan Caroland Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Try photobucket or imageshack for uploading your images if they aren't coming through in the upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakoMike Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I like the scheme on the daydreams. I can't wait to see a Lord Chompybits done up like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 When you said you were not a painter I was expecting the worst - no offence - but those are some lovely painted models with a simple and effective colour scheme. Look forward to seeing the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durek Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 wow those are really good, i thik your a better painter than you think, nice job and very realistic goals for a painting schedual. I have to be in the mood to paint also which is why my logs are alwasy updated hap hazardly, I find insiprational music or a themed movie in the background helps a little.

FoeRender Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 looking good so far , I have to say I do like the color scheme . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefsDad Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 A quick update. I haven't had much time to paint over the last couple of weeks, but I made a start on Chompy. P.S. Does anyone know how to make the images appear in the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonWraith Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Its the button with the mountain and the yellow sky. It has to be hosted online somewhere else first, though. Hope that helps, can't wait to see your stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Your painting is fine dude. Want to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 to make images appear in thread the easiest way is to make a photobucket account , than upload the pics to there , than copy and past the image link they provide for you . I think there is a place to host your photos from this forum as well , but i have never tried to use it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evaine Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 It's a very good paint job. I really like the contrasting purple on the models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Gotta love those cute little Daydreams! How did you do their skin? I'd like to do something similar for my friend's Death Marshals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I also like your paint job on the day dreams. Post up your chompy bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefsDad Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 First finished Chompy photo. More to come this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefsDad Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) LCB/Dreamer All Done For some reason the pictures wont show up in the thread, and the "manage attachments" keeps failing and not telling me why, but if you click on the boxes the link should work! Sorry for the late update! @nightseer Thanks! The skin recipe is: Gretchin Green base, then highlighted up by adding Rotting Flesh to the base and working up to pure Rotting Flesh, then given a VERY watery wash with Thraka Green ink wash. All Citadel paints. Edited June 12, 2011 by ChefsDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the good doctor Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 i like the limited pallete you have used. simple yet effective. are you keeping the whole crew on the same pallete? i think it would look very good and think your colours would work really well on coppelius. keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefsDad Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks Yeah im going to try and keep the same pallet on the whole Neverborn range. The masters will probably use more natural bowns etc for coats but will keep the green/purple in the scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I really like those Daydreams, the Dunce hat is a great element Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
